SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 593,396, dated November 9, 1897.

Application filed April 8, 1897. Serial No. 631,220, (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN GEORGE AULSE- BROOK KITCHEN, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of Manchester, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to lamps for cycles and other vehicles; and it consistsin an improved construction of lamp, the improvements having for their object the production of a steadily-burning lamp not affected by the wind and throwing a good light upon the ground in front of the cycle or vehicle and to render the quantity of oil contained in the lamp visible.

In order that my invention may be more readily understood, I have attached hereunto a sheet of drawings, to which I will now refer.

In the said drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of my improved lamp; Fig. 2, a side sectional elevation; and Fig. 3, a plan in section, looking upon the top of the oilreservoir of the same.

In the several views like parts are indicated by like letters of reference.

I form the case a of the lamp in a hemispherical or preferably a hemiellipsoidical or similar dished or cupped form, with a door 1) containing a glass plate I) in front of the case. I form an oil-reservoir 0 so as to conform in shape to the lower half of the case. The case may form one side of said reservoir, the front side 0 of the reservoir being of a similar shape, but preferably so formed that the sides are farthest apart in the center of the case and approach each other toward the circumference. A separate reservoir of this shape may in some cases be formed to fit into the case.

The drawings illustrate a miniature lamp having a comparatively large reservoir,which is obtained by extending the reservoir 0 backward in the center part, as illustrated by the projection 0 At the top the reservoir is provided with a filling-tube c protruding from the case and closed by a cap 0 At about the middle of the bottom of the cavity formed by the front side of the reservoir I attach thereto a vertical tube cl with a slot cl in front, and fit tightly into the same a glass tube 01 closing the top by a cap d containing a wick-tube d with adjusting pinion, the stem d of which passes to the outside of the lamp and terminates with a milled disk d Through the glass the quantity of oil in the reservoir can be seen, and the glass or metal tube is in some cases marked at different levels to indicate the length of time for which the oil-supply suffices, in the manner shown by the lines al In front of the reservoir I arrange a metal reflector e, fitting to the front side of the reservoir and being of a symmetrical shape in the hpper half, so that a hollow space of similar shape as that the reservoir occupies is left between the reflector and the casein the upper half. The reflector is made removable to facilitate cleaning. It contains an opening e in the top above the burner, protected bya shield 6 for the escape of the smoke, and the case has an opening c or may have a numberof openings in the top for the same purpose. Round the edge the reflector has a series of air-inlet holes a, and the case is formed with similar holes e Any wind blowing in through the openings becomes distributed in the space between the reflector and case and cannot extinguish the lamp.

Side'doors for lighting the lamp may be formed in the well-known way atone side or both sides of the case, closed with glass doors to show side lights, and openings formed in the reflector opposite each door for passing the match through. These side doors, however, may be omitted.

The lamp-case is formed with the usual spring device f for attaching it to the lampbracket. 7

I claim- 1. In a lamp the combination of a concave reflector distant from the back of the lampcase, an oil-reservoir between the lower part of the said reflector and case, a slotted metal tube in front of the reflector in open communication with said reservoir and carrying a wicktube and adjusting device, and a glass fixed liquid-tight in said metal tube.

2. In a lamp the combination of a concave reflector, an oil-reservoir composed of a receptacle extending behind the lower part of between them, and a spring-carrier attached lo the reflector and a glass tube in front of the to the back of the lamp.
